Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 789: Chapter 502: Frost Corpse Undead, Divine Tree! (Two-in-One)

This ancient undead corpse buried under An Province for who knows how many years can accept the Song Changping brothers as kindred, but may not be able to approach the living Song Changming.

In the face of unknown foreign races, every creature instinctively tends to exclude outsiders. The undead corpse no longer belongs to the Human Race and naturally is no exception.

”Senior, this is my younger brother. Chang’an and I were able to return from the dead, thanks to his assistance,” Song Changping sensed the tense atmosphere of the moment and stepped forward to speak.

”Hmm.” The undead corpse retrieved his gaze from Song Changming and, without waiting for Song Changming to say much, started to walk into the distance.

He did not care about this living Song Changming, only about what he was searching for.

Since it was not here, he would go elsewhere to continue the search.

Song Changming then looked behind the undead corpse, at that group of demons turned into Evil Yin Ghosts, and even humans, all following slowly behind the undead corpse.

However, those humans, judging by their clothing, were not from Yunzhou Imperial City but mostly mixed in the Nine Netherworld, there too now entering the Celestial Ruins Realm.

Only because of a conflict with this undead corpse had they all been devoured by the Evil Yin Qi, turning into Evil Yin Ghosts. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

”Changming, do you want to join us?” Song Chang’an asked.

Song Changming gave it some thought and shook his head.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to travel with his two elder brothers; he simply had his own exploration route and saw no need to forcibly join them.

And besides, that leading old undead corpse might not welcome him, so why bother seeking discomfort?

”Alright, take care, when we get out, the three of us will find a chance to have a hearty drink!” Song Changping did not press his younger brother, nodding as he spoke.

Watching his brothers and that mysterious undead corpse disappear into the cold mist, Song Changming turned back to take another look at the ancient temple ruins.

In the end, he decided not to reenter, turning to leave.

Inside the temple, he had already searched thoroughly.

Apart from those monk ghost shadows and statues, there was nothing else.

Therefore, it was unnecessary to go back in.

The ancient ruins within the Celestial Ruins Realm are like this; some are safe with treasures, some are safe but empty, and some, like this ancient temple ruin, have no treasure and are quite dangerous.

Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster or a Demon Race Great Demon who entered could potentially fail to exit, indicating the extreme risk; one must tread carefully.

Subsequently, Song Changming proceeded to bypass this frigid zone and continued exploring elsewhere.

He had just learned from Song Changping that their group had claimed the opening of several ancient ruins in that cold region.

Therefore, there was no point wasting time in that area; it would be better to survey other territories.

...

Another desolate dusty land, but different here; when the dust rose to the air, under the light, it revealed a hazy red halo.

As if what was rising wasn’t dust, but droplets of blood from living creatures!

In the dust land, suddenly a Light Gate opened, and two figures emerged, looking rather disheveled, lying on the ground gasping for breath, as though they had just been through a fright.

”That was close...”

”Barely escaped with our lives!”

The figures were furry, with pairs of ears on their heads, half-human, half-demon in form.

Their tails were continually transforming between reality and illusion, most peculiar, evidence of these two demons’ identity.

Precisely the remnants of the Xuwei Demon tribe that once wreaked havoc in the southeastern borders of Yun Province.

Back then, the Xuwei Demon tribe of the Nine Netherworld angered Prince Cui, prompting his personal arrival in the Nine Netherworld to hunt down this demon tribe with intensity.

Ultimately leading to the complete collapse of the Xuwei Demon tribe in the Nine Netherworld, with countless deaths and injuries, the tribe on the verge of extinction.

Yet now, with the opening of the Celestial Ruins Realm, some from the Xuwei Demon tribe managed to break in.

”Luckily, our reactions were quick; if not for this treasure, we would be dead by now!” said the gray-haired Xuwei Demon, breathing deeply with lingering fear while watching the gradually dissipating Light Gate.

In his tightly clenched hand, the treasure was none other than the two remaining Copper Mirror Fragments in the world.

This item could traverse places, allowing the Xuwei Demon tribe to come and go freely.

Yet this very item, acquired within the Celestial Ruins, brought the Xuwei Demon tribe both hope for resurgence and a disaster at the same time.

”Brother, it was foresight that you left a passage here...” the gray-haired Xuwei Demon said with gratitude.

”Hmph, what of the Human Race Grandmaster, and those Great Demons? With their abilities to fly and tunnel the heavens, move mountains and fill seas, they still couldn’t catch us two brothers!” scoffed the white-haired Xuwei Demon, amusing himself with the Copper Mirror Fragment in his claw, full of satisfaction.

For these weaker Little Demons, being able to outsmart Human Race Grandmasters and the Great Demons of the Demon Realm and escape unscathed was a great honor, so it was no wonder the Xuwei Demon was pleased.

Under the Heavens, apart from the two brothers, where else could one find another Little Demon who could achieve this?

”Brother, since we’ve shaken those guys off, should we go back there and check on that Divine Tree?” the gray-haired Xuwei Demon looked around hesitantly before speaking.

Upon hearing the words Divine Tree, the white-haired Xuwei Demon’s heart instinctively tensed, quickly glancing around to ensure no one overheard before relaxing.

He pondered briefly, then nodded in agreement.
